<p>How strong of a student are you? GPA? test scores?</p>
<p>Eng’g is one of the hardest majors to get a high GPA. It’s not unusual for eng’g students to graduate with low 3.X GPAs. Med schools are not going to give you a break because your major was eng’g.</p>
<p>Also…pick a school where your stats are well within the top quartile. If you pick a school where you were “lucky to get in” because your stats were average from the school, then that means that your premed classmates will be stronger students than you are…and guess who’ll likely be going home with A’s? Most schools use the premed prereqs as weeder classes and limit the number of A’s given. </p>
<p>We’ve seen this happen here. Premed kids with low-average stats for their top schools end up posting here that their GPA’s aren’t med-school-worthy.</p>
